NSV -- I need a belt!
I had a mini-milestone yesterday. About 8-9 months ago I finally gave in and bought several pairs of size 16 jeans and capris/shorts. I had for the year prior been squeezing myself into size 12-14s. I didn't want to admit to myself that I had gained that much weight. (For reference, in 2010-early 2011 I was wearing mostly…
